"That Was Like a Video Game at the End!"
Ryan Hunter-Reay and Josef Newgarden both said that the end of the race was like a video game. That's how easy it was for them to move to the front of the pack after taking tires during a late caution. Juan Montoya crashed with less than 20 laps to go, which allowed Hunter-Reay and Newgarden and a few others to come in for new tires when everyone else stayed out on their worn out tires. When the race restarted with 8 laps to go, Ryan and Josef were the fastest cars on the track and they quickly moved to the front. With 2 laps to go, Hunter-Reay and Newgarden passed Kanaan. Josef didn't have enough laps to get to the lead, but he finished a career high 2nd place (Our little sister Alexandra was really excited that Josef did so well!).
That's the good news.
The bad news....We felt bad for Tony Kanaan since he dominated the race but had to settle for third. But at least he led 247 laps!
Also, Aleshin and Sato got together for the second race in a row! Oh No!! A.J. Foyt was very unhappy again when they interviewed him.
The double header Honda Indy Toronto is this weekend, and we can't wait! Hopefully the whole race will be like a video game!
